Transcript 4 io PICTURESQUE PALESTINE. was exhausted and the work of destruction abandoned. To look at the quantity of stone taken away you would think, says the observer, that the whole monument had been razed to the ground ; but when you lift your eyes to the Pyramid itself, it is hard to see that it has suffered the least diminution ! One day ' Abd-el-Latif asked one of the workmen, who had assisted in laboriously removing one stone from its place, whether he would put it up again for a thousand gold pieces ? The man answered that they could not do it if the reward were many times multiplied. And so in spite of the efforts of man and the wearing of time, the Red Pyramid of Menkara still stands besides its two sisters at Gizeh, and verifies the saying that 11 Time mocks all things, but the Pyramids laugh THE FALLEN STATUE OF RAMESES II. AT MEMPHIS. The soft mud in which it is embedded has perfectly preserved the well-cut features and all the front part of the figure. During about months of the year it is partly covered by the waters of the overflowing Nile.
